1 Comparing Disabled and Non- Disabled Students Reasons for Studying Psychology Lucy Zinkiewicz (School of Psychology, Deakin University, Australia; & James Short (School of Psychology, University of York, UK) 1
2 The participation of disabled students in UK psychology Proportion of UK first degree students disclosing a disability greater in psych student population (8.8%) than in undergraduate student body as a whole (7.15%) (Higher Education Statistics Agency, 2007/08) Greater proportion of undergrad psych students (0.63%) than all students (0.26%) disclose mental health problems; Similar but stronger effect in postgrad students (1.12% vs 0.50%) 0.06 in psych in 2005/06 compared to 0.1% in nursing & 0.08% in medicine Rates of disability & mental health problems have consistently increased since 1999/2000, & increasingly slightly faster in psych Unclear whether this is due to a greater rate of disclosure among psych students, or an actual greater proportion within psych Ratio of acceptances into undergrad psych for disabled students similar to that for non-disabled students (Turpin & Fensom, 2004) 2
3 Psychology & disability Students find psych course content to be self-relevant, & disabled students are no exception Psych curriculum may be particularly relevant to their life experiences Eg, sensation & perception, health psych, neuro psych, cog psych, developmental psych, clinical psych Improving Provision for Disabled Psychology Students project (Craig & Zinkiewicz, 2010) found some disabled students reported being more motivated to study the subject, or to gain a greater insight into what is studied Murphy & Halgin (1995): in comparison to social psychologists, clinical psychologists reported stronger influence of personal problem resolution, & personal problems & troubled family, on choice of career path 3
4 The present study Aimed to see whether students with disabilities, particularly mental health difficulties (MHD), choose to study psychology for different reasons than students who have not experienced such difficulties Also explored whether reasons for attending uni were different, though expected more differences to emerge in reasons for studying psych Also investigated extent to which individuals felt that their own experiences of disability and/or a MHD had influenced them in choosing to study psychology 4
5 Method Part of the IPDPS project, a UK Higher Education Funding Council funded project looking at experiences of disabled psych students in UK HE Recruited through invitational with a questionnaire (in Word or.rtf) attached, sent to all psychology students at Uni of York, & IPDPS student list Participants asked if were disabled (& in what way), & whether had any experience of mental health difficulties (as may not classify self as disabled; see Watson, 2002) 5
6 Participants 111 UK psychology students (14 males, 97 females): 30 with mental health difficulties (either identified as disabled with a MHD, or did not identify as disabled but disclosed MHD) 34 with other disabilities (identified as disabled but did not report MHD as primary issue) 47 non-disabled (neither of the above) 6
7 Table 1 Demographic Variables by Disability Group Nondisabled Disabled MHD Total Enrolment Full time Part time Total 47 33* 29* 109 Gender Male Female Total Year of study Other Total Course Single honours Combined honours Joint honours Postgraduate Other Total Age (years) Range Mean (SD) (1.06) (7.90) (4.53) (5.46) University York Other Total Note. *One participant did not respond. 7
8 Reasons for Attending University by Disability Group Group Stop gap Means to an end Personal development Total n reasons Non-disabled (%) 66 (21%) 139 (44%) 111 (35%) 316 Disabled (%) 35 (15%) 102 (44%) 94 (41%) 231 MHD (%) 37 (16%) 108 (47%) 83 (36%) 228 Total n reasons 138 (18%) 349 (45%) 288 (37%) 775 Very few differences between groups in reasons for attending uni Slightly less likely to be a stop gap for disabled & MHD participants, slightly more likely to be for personal development in disabled students 8
9 Reasons for studying psychology Reasons for Studying Psychology by Disability Group n (%) of group choosing reason Non-disabled Wanted to be psycholo gist Seemed interestin g Useful for career Recommended Reason for studying psychology Studied at college Wanted to help people Needed to do an undergrad degree Better understand self/others Friends also doing 13 (28%) 42 (89%) 11 (23%) 3 (6%) 31 (66%) 21 (45%) 12 (26%) 11 (23%) 2 (4%) 0 (0%) (%) Disabled (%) 19 (56%) 25 (74%) 10 (29%) 3 (8%) 17 (50%) 16 (47%) 5 (15%) 13 (38%) 0 (0%) 3 (9%) MHD (%) 18 (60%) 23 (77%) 10 (33%) 2 (7%) 16 (53%) 14 (47%) 4 (13%) 7 (23%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) χ 2 (2, N= ** Note. As participants could select several reasons, row percentages total more than 100%. ** p =.007 Other Only reason for studying psych which significantly differed across groups was wanted to be a psychologist - nondisabled participants less likely to give this as a reason than disabled students or those with MHD 9
10 Extent to which disability affected choice to study psychology No difference between disabled & MHD group in extent to which their disability affected their choice to study psychology, (t(2) = -0.50, p =.62), two-tailed Ms (& SDs): 2.56 (1.24) for disabled group, 2.76 (1.56) for MHD group Overall M of 2.63 (SD = 1.35), where 1 = not at all, 5 = totally Means for participants who gave Wanted to be a psychologist as a reason for studying psychology, & those who did not, significantly differed, (t(47) = -2.02, p =.049), two-tailed Ms (& SDs): 2.93 (1.44) for those who wanted to be a psychologist, & 2.16 (1.07) for those who did not 10
11 Extent to which studying psych improved understanding of own disability Means for disabled group & MHD group members significantly differed, (t(24) = 10.34, p =.0001), onetailed Ms (& SDs): 2.53 (1.46) for disabled group, & 3.50 (1.18) for MHD group 11
12 Discussion Decision to study seems to be a more focused & deliberative one for disabled students Those with experiences of disabilities & MHD seem to have a greater desire to become a psychologist Due to higher age of disabled students? Though MHD group were significantly younger Only moderately felt that their condition influenced their decision to study psych, though stronger feelings reported in those wanting to be a psychologist 12
13 Discussion (cont) Why do participants with disabilities & mental health difficulties show greater desire to be a psychologist than do non-disabled participants, yet do not believe their disability or MHD plays a very important part in them choosing to study psychology? Perhaps wish to be identified as a (prospective) psychologist rather than as someone with a disability or MHD studying psych? Many of the participants with MHD did not consider themselves to be disabled, although 29% of those seeing themselves as non-disabled actually reported having a MHD, with 14% of these having had this professionally diagnosed 13
